Hours after he called House Speaker John Boehner to say that he's REFUSING to negotiate, Barack Obama arrogantly strode to the microphone at a press conference and told the American people that he is, in fact, willing to negotiate...

BUT, he declared, that WILL ONLY HAPPEN AFTER the American people declare complete and unconditional surrender to his big-government agenda and his plans to implement ObamaCare in spite of the will of the American people.

I like to think so, But as the debt ceiling nears, will those "Balls" still be hanging strong?

I hope that they have the intestinal fortitude to hang in there and not cave to Obama. I heard tonight that "The One's" favorability rating is now down to 37%.

Years ago in sales 101 I learned to never flinch and to persevere. Now if only our elected officials can follow that path, we just might be alright.

The dems in their arrogance have been pushing things too far. Locking out WWII vets from the monument at the same time as the illegals were frolickin with Pelosi on the Mall just might have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Fox interviewed a vet last night about this matter, and he was so angry I thought he was going to have the big heart attack on the show. He was that angry at Obama.

Sometimes you can get kicked just too many times by the Chicago thug bullies. It's time that the Republicans don't just roll over and play dead to that arrogant fearless leader.

It's time the Republicans and the Democrats stop measuring you know what sizes. Nobody in the center cares about their poor, pitiful feelings.

They're about to cut off Wic checks this month. I'm concerned for parents who need that for their baby's formula. I'm thinking a lot of you all don't care, but I think you should know just how disgusted I am for ANYBODY who is for this shutdown for any reason.

The idea that Republicans are victims because their feelings are hurt disgust me. Ditto with Dems. Grow up far left and right. Nobody cares about your poor feelings.

Republicans aren't victims because their feelings are hurt, they are being forced to accept dictatorial edicts from the White House, as are the rest of us. This is about more than WIC, it's about whether or not the Constitution is still the law of the land.

Sounds like feelings are hurt to me.

My concerns are that children have enough to eat (even if their parents shouldn't have had pre-marital sex years ago and even if they did accidently pick the wrong person to marry due to abuse. I forgive parents for being human), that children with cancer can get treatments (even those whose hope only relies on experimental drugs), that those with disabilities are taken care of, and that those who can work a job get job training if they need it.

I don't care about federal aid for family planning, museums, parks, or money to tie up the hands of individual states with our mandates. I care about taking care of those who need to be taken care of. I don't care about whose you know what is bigger, and I'm sorry, but that's ALL this ridiculous fight in Washington DC is about.

I still think this is ultimately about fulfilling the wet dream of dismantling the federal government. Problem is conservatives are supposedly for the military and this shut down cuts into the military. Oh, and I'm for the military staying open too. If we're going to fuss at crazy countries, we need to back it up. I'm also for freedom of religion. Did you know that military preachers and priests are being told to stay away or else get arrested? They can't even come as a volunteer. And NOOOOOO, I WON'T just blame Obama. This is your side's fault as much as anybody's else's.

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday proposed a short-term increase in the debt ceiling as a way to avoid what administration officials warn would be an economic catastrophe, putting the idea to President Obama ahead of a high-stakes White House meeting. Boehner and his deputies announced the proposal after pitching it to rank-and-file Republicans in a closed meeting. The plan would allow for a six-week extension of the debt ceiling with no strings attached, as long as Obama and Democrats make a "real commitment" to negotiate over the partial government shutdown and a longer-term debt-ceiling hike.

Lanie, you misinterpreted completely what I said. It's not about whose feelings are hurt. It is about the direction of our country. For one I'm very tired of the way many will cite one group or the other in a attempt to get their way.

Listen to Harry Reid who replied to a questio about denying funds for kids with cancer--unfortunate but others in his district need assistance.

This is a game of hard ball, but think on the Dems side it is turning the country around to a more socialist way of thinking and about total control of our economy. Why in the world do you think Ms Pelosi was speaking at that rally of illegals? The Dems are salivating over all those votes-----and Obama is trying to annihilate the Republicans.

It's not about "feelings". It's way more than that.
